Everything2 hacks (idea)

(update #2: this doesn't matter anymore, since HTML entities are allowed in the chatterbox now)
Want to put less-than < and greater-than > signs into chatterbox? Surround the < signs with a tag. For example, to show:Don't overuse the <pre> tag.
type:Don't [overuse] the <hello><<goodbye>pre> tag.

To enter [ and ] (square brackets) without forming a link, use &#91; and &#93; (actually, you can just type ], but using &#93; makes it easier to find links that aren't closed properly)

To show ] in the chatterbox, just type it normally; to show [ there, type this: [[] which will yield: [

Link to the front page by making a link with a blank destination, like this. For example, the previous link was formed by [|this].
